Wistful Blue Clouds

Fluffy white clouds and blue skies. A beautiful spring day leads me and my boys to the high street market where six Gerberas were bought and planted onto the back terrace.

I hope that as my row of daffodils finish for the year, these guys will take over.

The crocus and snow drops have finished flowering and now it’s the time for ‘Glory of the Snow’.

Clematis
My clematis are growing longer and so I’m starting to support the individual stems so they don’t go crazy messy. purple broccali shoots
The purple broccoli have started to shoot! Absolutely nothing else which has been planted this year has shooted yet. I guess this is the downside of planting straight out into the garden- there is no head-start you get from the warmth of greenhouses or polytunnels.

In a short space of time this spring there is already a real sense of ‘the old going and the new coming’. There is a build up of work each week as more plants continue to grow.

Nine years ago I moved into my old home and inherited the responsibility of caring for a garden that the previous owners clearly loved very much. It was a daunting undertaking! It wasn't long before I looked forward to getting outdoors and getting my hands (and boots!) dirty- so much so that my husband would have to repeatedly 'remind me of the time' during my 2 pregnancies. My young sons have since taken over that 'job'!
Having recently moved house and inherited a bigger garden, I now have the challenge of transforming what was the pet dog's paradise (!) into something that we can all enjoy as a family.
I'm a complete amateur. This blog is all about taking my journey of learning to another level and a place for me to record the year's gardening events. In the past I've simply taken Loads of photos and mentally taken note of things that have and haven't worked.
I hope you will join me on this journey of learning, I look forward to your comments, suggestions and even questions.
Kind regards
Nisha
